“When we first began looking at the data, we were surprised to find that 1 in 10 men on Grindr in NYC had never received an HIV test and we quickly realized we needed to look further into the issue,” said Jon Rendina, lead author of Patterns of Lifetime and Recent HIV Testing Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in New York City, which first appeared in this August’s online issue of AIDS and Behavior.

According to the research, the proportion of older men getting tested for HIV was notably higher than that of younger men, with 1 in 5 young men who have sex with men (MSM) between the ages of 18-24 having never received an HIV test. Compared to the overall MSM population of NYC, a higher proportion of men on Grindr had never been tested for the disease — 10% of Grindr users versus 2.6% of all NYC MSM.

Additional analyses revealed that one-third of those men who had never received an HIV test reported their HIV status as negative, which as Rendina points out, “may mean that men are sharing potentially inaccurate HIV status information with their partners on Grindr.” Furthermore, nearly one-third of the men who had never been tested also reported engaging in anal sex without a condom in the past three months.

On the brighter side of things, half of all surveyed Grindr users had received an HIV test in the past six months, with over 70% of them having been tested in the past year. Only 52% of all MSM in NYC reported receiving an HIV-test in the past year. The data suggests that men who engage in risky sexual behavior have an awareness of increased risk for HIV infection and get tested more recently than men who practice safer sex.

A higher proportion of younger men of color reported getting tested compared to other men in the sample, a product, Rendina says, of the effectiveness of community-based efforts to provide HIV testing to a population particularly susceptible to infection. The study concludes that social networking apps like Grindr can be used to promote the importance of HIV testing, thus aiding in future prevention efforts.

“These findings suggest that some prevention messages — specifically that MSM that engage in unprotected sex should have more frequent HIV testing — are reaching the intended audience,” Rendina said. “It’s our hope that these data highlight the importance of embedding HIV testing and other prevention campaigns where men who have sex with men network, socialize, and express their sexuality, such as Grindr.”

Also, (personally) I think one of the douchiest and most unnecessary piece of information on a profile is “Tested Negative as of ______”.

That doesn’t really mean much UNLESS that person can prove they have not engaged in any sexual activity 6 weeks prior to testing, and refrained from sexual activity since testing. Other than that… it’s pointless to announce such.

Porn stars get tested every 2 weeks and they still can transmit it in that time (as proven the past few months.

“The study concludes that social networking apps like Grindr can be used to promote the importance of HIV testing, thus aiding in future prevention efforts.” I couldn’t agree more.

As someone who remembers – and respects – the sense of urgency and fear that unfolded with the onset of the HIV/AIDS crisis more than 30 years ago, it is discouraging to read that a generation of sexually active gay men who have never lived without the risk of infection are apparently immune to the ever-present risk of infection. We need look only to federal health statistics showing an increase of HIV infections among gay men to conclude that the LGBT and health communities should renew education efforts and impress that the risk of HIV/AIDS infection is not to be shrugged off. We can also hope that producers of “bareback” vids that show unprotected sex and the deposit of semen in at-risk body cavities will rethink their own possible contribution to their obvious disregard for their audience’s well-being. Until a call for safe and responsible sexual activity is renewed, our best defense continues to be the wisdom to “always play safe.”

No matter the app I use I always ask someone (prior to meeting them) if they’re DDF and HIV negative. I could care less if they get pissed or annoyed. One’s personal health is more important then X-amount of time spent in the sack then (maybe) finding out whether they are or aren’t positive for an STD or HIV

September 30, 2013 at 5:09pm

Seriously, why would you disparage someone for getting testing and being proactive about their health and health risks?

MSM=closet cases…enough with the CDC reinforcing homophobia and the closet. For years now, the CDC and others have promoted the lie that you can have sex with men without accepting being gay or bisexual. In fact, they have reinforced homophobia and heterosexism by legitimizing the closet as an acceptable identity. Enough with the lies – down with the closet!

People, people, people….people LIE on these sites. Sometimes one person who is “negative” on one site becomes “positive” on another. That is the fastest cure on record. There are people that I KNOW are positive that list negative in their profiles. Lesson? Don’t believe what people TELL you.

I’ve been active in the HIV community since the mid-1980’s. My advice was, and remains, “Always assume your partner is HIV+”. You can’t go wrong by playing safe. Anyone who is not willing to do so is only looking for his own personal interests. Keep in mind, YOU ARE WORTH TAKING CARE OF. That means playing safe.

September 30, 2013 at 6:09pm

robho3

Yeah I’ve always thought it odd when people post that they tested negative as of a week ago. Like you just going to take someone’s word for it? If you want to stay negative you use a condom every time simple as that. You need to assume that every hook up is positive I know that sounds harsh but it is true.

September 30, 2013 at 6:09pm

mcflyer54

I doubt that figure is even close to accurate. I personally believe it to be far to low. From my personal (non-Grindr) experience I’ve found nearly 50% of the gay guys I have dealt with (I’m in the medical field) have never been tested yet don’t hesitate to confirm their status as negative because “they know their partners”.

I will never ever for the life of me understand why anyone would want to acquire HIV. As someone else who remembers the major scare that it was in the 80s, I agree more education is sorely needed. Young kids today think it’s no big deal. Well kids, all you need to do is look on http://www.pozforums.com – go ahead and look at the links for “so you just tested positive” and other links and *really* educate yourself on what HIV/AIDS can do to your body and your mind.

To the young kids and others who don’t care and actually prefer bareback: You are part of the fucking problem and the reason why there is still some animosity towards the gay community today. Why give the gay haters reason to hate us more when you are not being safe, not caring about yourself or others?

That’s a hunky kid. I would fuck him raw… 😉

But seriously, if condoms were so great all the straights would be using them too. Straight people don’t go into paroxysms of hurling insults and hate at those among them (i.e., almost all) who don’t always wear condoms, so what is it with the self-hating or mutual-hating in the gay community? Gay guys who don’t wear condoms do so for the most part (though there are a multitude of reasons) because condoms take away sensation and maybe they still want to know what it is like to feel some sensation and closeness during sex before they grow old. Say you are single for 3 years, are you really supposed to have substandard less-enjoyable sex for those years, which you will never get back? People make a calculation that enjoyment of life while young is better than saving yourself for some hypothetical enjoyment of life when they are old, and in a way they are not wrong. Maybe the answer is just to get on PrEP during periods of your life you are single or non-monogamous. Protection is very good if you adhere faithfully to the regimen, especially for the top the risk becomes almost negligible. I got on PrEP recently because I know I’m not going to use a condom every time.

September 30, 2013 at 7:09pm

TheNewEnergyDude

No hate meant to be directed to anybody, but no condom? Straight or gay, it’s stupid. As like it or not, gay men are a high risk group. It’s just a fact.

Dealing with ARS, the doctor’s appts., spiking up health costs for everyone, having to endure unpredictable things with your body, having to take meds, dealing with side effects, having to tell your parents and friends, possibly being rejected by some of them, other forms of psychological stress (even if they don’t think they will), and a multitude of other things one will face on their lifetime just for a raw 5 second orgasm.

Yeah. It’s stupid. Kudos to you or having the foresight to take PEP. But many don’t.

@viveutvivas: (sigh.) Because unprotected anal sex is MUCH more of an HIV risk than vaginal sex is. (Or oral, of course.)

A thought experiment. Imagine a disease of the future, an organism both parasitic and canabalistic centered around the genitals… if you don’t have sex you die. So A calls B, “Please come over.” B says, “I can’t. I’m going over to C’s.” A cries, “You’ve got to come over now. It’s beginning to gnaw at me.”?

Darwin Awards awarded all around for all those boys on hook up sites who don’t wear condoms.

This is sad on a variety of levels, but especially because the criminalization and stigmatization of HIV both contribute to the reasons for not getting tested. Once you know you’re positive, you become a potential criminal and social outcast.

October 1, 2013 at 10:10am

Grindr is ridiculous because of their ridiculous censorship policy (no hips, no swimsuits, cropping torsos above the navel, etc.), but they are doing a service to the community. Where else can gay people outside of the big cities meet other gay people for hookups, true (which are not a sin, by the way, unless you prescribe to some fundamentalist religion) but also for dating and relationships.

Maybe other dating sites are useful in Manhattan or LA, or San Fran, but for the rest of us, those dating sites are useless because they have maybe 10 guys online in our city. The one remaining gay bar in the typical small or medium city has maybe five retirees on a typical night. Grindr (and to a lesser extent Scruff) is the only place where we can actually meet other gays.

@OutnProud: And what do you do with the guys who tell you they’re “DDF”? I certainly hope you use a condom every time. The kind of selfish, irresponsible person cited in this article is unlikely to tell you the truth, especially if it’s going to cost him some fun. Unless someone is celibate there’s no way to be sure he’s “DDF.” There are other STDs out there besides HIV, and some of them (including Hepatitis C, which is incurable) are not to be messed with. WRAP IT UP, boys. There are lots of ways to enjoy sex without unprotected anal.

@viveutvivas: @no. 22 viveutvivas PrEP is not supposed to be used in lieu of a condom. When you’re prescribed PrEP, you’re also supposed to be advised to use a condom.

No study has shown it to be 100% effective (or close to 100%) even if you’re totally compliant with the regimen. There are a number of side effects with the drug Truvada. Even if you are fully compliant with this drug, you still need to be tested for HIV about every 3 months along with other blood work for liver, kidney, bone, etc. problems.

@ParkerSparx, the (unmedicated) risk to the top in unprotected sex with a poz bottom has been caculated from various studies over the years to be less than 1 infection per thousand encounters. Full PrEP adherence gives about 99% protection (http://stm.sciencemag.org/content/4/151/151ra125), reducing that risk about 100 times to less than 1 in a 100,000 encounters. And that is with partners known to be poz and not on HAART. It is even lower in real life, given that many of your random (say) sexual partners would be actually either negative or on effective HAART.

There are educated and responsible people who decide they can live with this low risk, get on PrEP, and have some hot condomless sex now and then. I think the time has come to respect their decisions and not reflexively call them insane or irresponsible.

Hep C is transmitted via blood transfer; it can be transmitted via gay sex but that is rare. And it is curable in most cases with new medications that have become available over the past few years.

October 1, 2013 at 3:10pm

viveutvivas

Etseq, the term MSM includes guys who are not gay (e.g. bisexuals) and is useful for research and outreach. A lot of the men whom they are trying to reach with prevention programs and wish to include in various studies indeed have sex with men but do not self-identify as gay. Let’s not be fascist in our own little way and deny people the right to call themselves straight or bisexual, or the emperor of Canada, even if they occasionally (or even always) have sex with men.

The unfortunate reality is that if you target a sexual health program at gays, a lot of the men most in need of the services, often from uneducated and unenlightened or conservative backgrounds, will not participate. Their health and well being are more important than a matter of ideology, aren’t they?

October 1, 2013 at 6:10pm

viveutvivas

@stache1, okay, I agree with what you say. But asking a partner if he is negative is not entirely useless. It is an imperfect and porous screen, true, but it still a screen, and probably reduces risk to some extent. Without research to back either of us up, we can only guess, but it is almost certainly better than not asking. At least it will discourage a poz guy who has a conscience (i.e., probably most poz guys) from having unprotected sex with the kid who is asking the question. Think about it – if someone doesn’t ask the question, it gives the impression that he doesn’t care because he is probably already infected – rightly or wrongly, it will be seen by many poz guys as a green light in itself.

@viveutvivas: Ah yes here comes the bootlickers now – I was waiting for this. You are scum – a disgrace to gay rights. You would sell your own people into slavery just win approval from straights. You are probably a self-loathing closet case yourself. This liberal nonsense about “the right to name yourself” is justification for the worst type of self-loathing apologetics. No one has the “right” to reinvent reality. You can call a closet case “straight” as much as you like but it doesn’t make it so. This is why the radical left is no friend to gay rights – you don’t believe in science or reality – you think you can socially construct anything into being by mere ideology. You are no different than the creationists or the climate science deniers. Go get a real degree and forget the queer theory nonsense you learned in the humanities…

@viveutvivas: You are the ideologue. Gay people will never be free until the shame of the closet is over. No self-respecting gay person can ever accept this untrammeled right you seem to want to homophobia. I in no way support a self-loathing closet case in his “right” to screw men and then infect his wife out of deference to some liberal notion of tolerance. You seem to love the closet so much – why don’t you go back in it?

@viveutvivas: You are the fascist…queer theory is the new closet. Rich, white college men mostly who couldn’t hack a real degree in science and got sucked into this humanities non-sense of social construction. People aren’t blank slates…

When I was active in the early days of HIV, I used condoms, and was tested every two months, so I would know to seek a cure, and to STOP having sex with anyone so as to NOT INFECT ANYONE ELSE. I was lucky and did not get it. Then, in 1982 when I met my “Permanent partner to be”, who was also negative, I knew that AIDS would be a thing of the past as far as we were concerned.

I’ve never had an HIV test. I don’t hook up and I’m not a filthy analist. There you go! If you contract HIV in this day and age you have nobody to blame but yourself. It’s a totally preventable disease. We’ve known this since the mid 80’s. One out of five gay men are HIV+. With straight people, the rates aren’t anywhere close to that and they’re around 90% or more of the population. It’s kind of obvious. Anal sex and promiscuity fuel AIDS.

@BlogZilla: Well, the anal trolls are out in force again…I’m trying to figure out how anal sex “pushes shit into your bloodstream” when the colon’s purpose is to safely expel feces from the body. The only scenario where feces could cause blood toxicity is for severe trauma to literally puncture the wall of the colon and sever the surrounding blood vessels. This is quite rare and is usually the result of an error made during surgery or a external knife wound. I guess theoretically, a super hung piledriving top could puncture a colon but you have greater odds winning the lottery than being fucked to death.

Alcohol and drugs, especially antibiotics, are not classified as poisons. Besides, the concept of a singular category known as poison is problematic. Paracelsus, the father of toxicology, once wrote: “Everything is poison, there is poison in everything. Only the dose makes a thing not a poison.”

@etseq: Your sphincter is designed to keep things out of your anus. It’s naturally designed that way. Why do you think HIV is at a 20% rate among gay men living the top/bottom/vers lifestyle? The anus is very delicate and prone to bleeding and infection. Pass a hard stool and you can see a little blood on your toilet paper. Hemorrhoids can bleed. Blood and feces are not a good mix. Some tears are so tiny you can’t even seem them, but that doesn’t matter to the HIV virus. You guys really need to educate yourselves and cut back on the porn.
